According to the review aggregator Metacritic, Anticlines received "universal acclaim" based on a weighted average score of 83 out of 100 from 7 critic scores.[3]
Philip Sherburne of Pitchfork stated, "what makes this a truly special record is its vocal dimension."[6] He added, "A world away from her singing style on previous albums, Dalt's performance here combines captivating spoken-word passages with subtle vocal processing that sounds like the product of a chromed larynx."[6] Daniel Cole of XLR8R stated, "deeply framed messages are tied together with abstract jagged music, rigid sound design and haunting, poetic vocals, to create a richly layered record."[10] Danijela Bočev of The Quietus commented that "This is an immersive listen, full of eerie familiarity and suspended body horror; a quasi-mystical sense of oneness gives Anticlines cohesion and a sense of spiritual comfort, and somehow reminds one of the vast indifferent universe as we descend into environmental disaster."[11]
